Question: 1 5 . 8 A needle is used to inject a given volume of a drug into a patient in a certain amount of time

15.8 A needle is used to inject a given volume of a drug into a patient in a certain amount of time \( t_{0}\).
What effect will the following have on the amount of time it takes to inject a fixed volume of this drug?
(you can assume that all aspects not addressed remain the same)
(a) Reducing the length of the needle to \(60\%\) of its original length.
(b) Increasing the length of the needle to \(120\%\) its original length.
(c) Increasing the diameter of the needle to twice its original diameter.
(d) Reducing the diameter of the needle to half its original diameter.
(e) Increasing the pressure difference across the needle by a factor of 1.5.
(f) Reducing the pressure difference across the needle by a factor of 1.5.
(g) Reducing the viscosity of the fluid by \(20\%\).
(h) Increasing the viscosity of the fluid by \(20\%\).
